Reply to comment by [deleted] in Landmark Pa. school funding case decided: The state’s system is unconstitutional by Hashslingingslashar

Schools and school districts existed in PA prior to 1954. Indeed, if memory serves, there were more than 1,000 districts at one point. Some towns had shared buildings but the "districts" as we know them today were reduced to the current number (more or less), but that did not occur until about 1960. The current DOE setup occurred around 1970. Some of today's districts have more than 1 high school. 3 have none.

Oh yeah I was probably to broad in my statement. Education system of rural PA underwent a major overhaul during that era. I was referring more to centers of black Pennsylvanians and how desegregation caused school districts like York City which were already consolidated to be fractured.

One main district and 3 that carved out the "desirable" sections. If I remember correctly two of them were established within 2 years of Brown.

One of them was almost completely within the city's district before it splintered.
